Down here (Australia) the brand vanished in 2011 when Woolworths, who purchased them in 2001, closed the brand.
I owned at least 3 Tandy computers. A big step up usability wise than a single board computer like the KIM 1
The first being a TRS80 model 1, my first "full blown" computer. .
Latter on I got into Commodore (64) including the Amiga.
Nowdays it is PCs when I decided to do thing in the real world, and when our company purchased lots of them, instead of just playing around and learning, Although I did use the TRS80 for a work application (using VisiCalc)

I took engineering courses as electives in college ('67-'72), including several 'Computer' courses. Programming languages included binary/hex/machine code, assembler, BASIC, FORTRAN, COBOL, etc. Later, as a Secondary Science Teacher, I got a job at a local Science Center that had a Honeywell Mainframe that it transitioned for "timesharing" applications. It was great fun. Our students re-wrote the entire operating system, to make it "bullet-proof" to the outside users. At the time, I believe it had 8K (no, that is not a typo) of RAM....the magnetic core memory was very expensive then.

At the same time, I remember Atari, NEC, Apple, and a few others. I went with Apple, with two 5-1/4" floppy drives. Because I was a programmer and 'application' software was not available, I had fun with this machine....it even had compilers for Fortran and advance basic. ( I'm guessing my machine was made in 'Ol' Waz's garage.) Except for my working life, I have personally stuck with Apple. Just a preference.....
